Product description

This needle distributor is designed to optimize espresso extraction by evening out the coffee bed before tamping. The eight 0.4 mm stainless steel needles gently redistribute grounds across the basket, helping reduce channeling and promote balanced water flow for improved flavor and clarity.

An adjustable twist ring lets you control the needle spacing to suit different basket sizes and doses. The included magnetic stand protects the tool between uses, keeps the needles upright, and ensures they remain straight and undamaged over time.

Built from stainless steel and anodized aluminum alloy, the Lightning needle distributor resists corrosion and wear, even with daily use. It comes with six replacement needles and fits seamlessly into any home or professional coffee workflow. For baristas focused on precision and repeatability, this WDT tool offers a fast, effective way to prepare the perfect puck.
